What planet has to do with the sun?

All the planets in our solar system, including Earth, revolve around the Sun. The gravitational pull from the Sun keeps the planets in their orbit, moving around it in a specific path.


Does the sun move around the earth?

No The Earth Moves Around The Sun While All The Other Planets Do To. Its Takes a Year For The Earth To Move Around The Sun. The Closer The Planet Is To The Sun, The Less Time It Takes.The sun is the center point of the solar system. Earth moves around it. The sun is a great force of gravity (and is where the gravity on earth originates) keeping everything surrounding it in constant orbit around it.


What helps the earth to go around the sun?

The Earth's orbit around the sun is determined by gravitational forces, which keep the Earth moving in a nearly circular path. The sun's immense gravitational pull keeps the Earth in its orbit, while the Earth's inertia prevents it from falling directly into the sun.


What is the source of the centripetal force that keeps Earth in orbit around the Sun?

The centripetal force that keeps Earth in orbit around the Sun is caused by the gravitational attraction between Earth and the Sun. This force pulls Earth towards the Sun and prevents it from moving in a straight line, instead forcing it to travel in a curved path around the Sun.


Thoes the sun move westwards around the earth?

No, the sun does not move westwards around the Earth. From our perspective on Earth, it appears as though the sun moves across the sky from east to west due to the Earth's rotation on its axis. In reality, the sun appears to move because of our planet's rotation, not because it is moving around the Earth.

What is the revolution of earth around sun?

The time it takes Earth to orbit around the sun is a year


Why is the sun moving in the sky when the earth is rotating around the sun?

The Earth itself is rotating @ 1 revolution per day -hence the 'Sun moving in the Sky': meanwhile the Earth is following an elliptical track around the Sun whilst itself spinning.


How does the. Earth and moon move around the sun?

The earth is moving for both of tham.


The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun exerts on the Earth?

Yes, the Earth orbits around the sun due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun. This force keeps the Earth moving in a curved path around the sun, preventing it from simply moving in a straight line out into space.


Is earth still or moving?

The Earth isconstantlymoving. It rotatesaroundits axis and revolves around the sun.


How can the moon and sun tell us that the earth is moving?

The moon and sun can tell us that the earth is moving as our earth spins adding to the sight of turn of the Moon which we can see in the sky moving throughout the day. The sun can tell us the earth is moving as we can see shadows on people and objects moving around telling us something has to be moving. It has been scientificly proven that is not the Sun or "Sol" so we know it is the Earth.


Who came up with earth moving around sun?

Aristarchus of Samoa


Why might ancient astronomers have been convinced that the sun and moon revolve around earth?

Because in the sky it looks as if the sun is moving, but actually, the earth is moving but you can't feel it.


What is the path taken by the earth to complete one revolution?

There is no specific path in space.The earth moves around the sun relative to the sun.But the sun itself is moving and therefore the Earth's orbit is also moving.


Why is the earth falling and also going around the sun?

It is falling through space even though moving around the sun. The inertia of the "fall" and the pull of the gravity of the sun, make the earth go around the sun in an ecliptic orbit.


How much mile per hour does the sun go around the Earth?

It's the other way around; the Earth goes around the Sun. The Earth is in an elliptical orbit (but not very elliptical; only about 3% difference from a perfect circle) so the speed of the Earth's movement around the Sun varies a bit. It's moving fastest around January 4, when the Earth is closest to the Sun (called "perihelion"), and moving slowest in early July, when the Earth is farthest away (which we call "aphelion"). But on average, it's moving about 67,000 miles per hour in its orbit.
